IT industry veteran Dan Newton joins
cybersecurity education company to drive innovation, expand global
reach
Security Journey, the education and training platform to help
software developers code more securely, today announced Dan Newton
as the organization’s new CEO. Newton succeeds Joe Ferrara, who is
transitioning from the CEO role to serve on the company’s
board.
Newton brings nearly two decades of managed service and
enterprise technology experience to the role. He will guide
Security Journey’s strategic vision as the company looks to drive
technological innovation, enhance its training offerings including
real-world training opportunities, and strengthen customer
relationships.
"Over the course of my career, I’ve seen both cybersecurity
threats and compliance requirements grow in prevalence. To succeed
in this environment, software companies must educate their teams
comprehensively,” Newton said. “Security Journey is positioned to
be an influential force in helping companies achieve better
application security, write safer code, and build a security-first
culture. Along with the organization’s talented leadership team, I
will focus on enhancing our market-leading curriculum to meet the
needs and behavior practices of developers and help our customers
navigate this critical and ever-changing landscape.”
Newton previously served as CEO of CDS, a provider of
multi-vendor support services for data centers. There, he grew and
diversified CDS’ service offerings and customer base and fostered
best-in-breed partnerships. Before CDS, Newton was CEO of HiveIO, a
developer of intelligent virtualization technology.
“Dan has just the expertise Security Journey needs to continue
serving customers with leading-edge secure coding education,” said
Ferrara. “It has been my honor to steer the company through its
past three years of growth, and I look forward to collaborating
with Dan and the rest of the leadership team as a board
member.”
In 2022, Security Journey was acquired by software education
provider HackEDU to create an even stronger application security
solution for companies of all sizes. Security Journey is dedicated
to improving security and compliance through secure code training
for development teams.
Newton will represent Security Journey at Black Hat USA in Las
Vegas, August 3 - 6. Visit booth 4525 to learn more about the
organization, its training offerings, and to sign up for its Black
Hat Secure Coding Tournament.
